Project Trio Takes Classical Music & Gives it a Modern Vibe

Brooklyn, New York-based chamber music ensemble Project Trio are bringing new fans to "classical" music and blowing the minds of existing chamber music fans with their innovative performances, recordings and their 77 million YouTube views. These guys play the flute, bass and cello in a way you've never heard before, incorporating a high-octane mix of jazz, hip-hop and rock. Coming from strong classical music backgrounds, they enjoy mixing genres and high-level instrumental music for all ages. They write and arrange every note themselves, and play it in classical crossover style. Flutist Greg Pattillo infuses beat boxing into his sound, making drum noises with his mouth and turning the flute into a rhythm instrument. Eric Stephenson can play the cello like an electric guitar, and Peter Seymour hits the bass like it's a drum.
